David Wayne Howell

David was born in Farmersville, Texas, on January 1, 1941, to Dave and Mattie Howell. He was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Cindy Howell, with whom he shared 49 years of marriage.

David dedicated his career to serving others as a Peace Officer with the Houston Police Department. He took great pride in his work and in the many people he was able to serve throughout his years in law enforcement.

Outside of his career, David enjoyed the simple pleasures and adventures that made life special. He had a passion for hunting, fishing, traveling, and both water and snow skiing. He loved being outdoors, enjoying new adventures, and making memories with those he loved.

David was preceded in death by his parents, Dave and Mattie Howell, and his siblings, O.D. Howell, Finus Howell, James Howell, Ray Howell, R.C. Howell, Wilma Williams, and Eunice Kalb.

He is also survived by his great-grandchildren, Preston Davis, Makayla Baygents, KaLeigh Havner, Toby Larson, Elijah Larson, Owen Larson, Jimmy Havner, Luke Havner, and Brecklyn Larson, as well as his great-great-grandchild, Brady Baygents.
